Yamal had just played a key role in Barcelona’s thrilling comeback victory over Levante on Saturday evening, but it was his social media post that stole headlines shortly after.
Yamal celebrates Nicole on her birthday
Hours after his on-pitch heroics, the Spanish winger posted a cozy photograph with Nicki Nicole in front of her 25th birthday cake.
The intimate picture, captioned with just a cake and heart emoji, instantly went viral, sparking huge reactions from fans across Spain and Latin America.
Reports of their budding relationship had already circulated after Nicole was seen at Yamal’s controversial 18th birthday celebrations last month.
When did Yamal and Nicole relationship start?
Yamal fueled fresh romance speculation after being spotted with singer Nicole at a nightclub earlier this month, as well as strolling together through the streets of Monaco.
The Barcelona star’s personal life has drawn attention in recent months, with earlier rumours linking him to OnlyFans model Fati Vazquez, after the two were seen vacationing together.
That fling appeared to fade, but his connection with Nicole looks more promising.
The singer was even present at Barcelona’s 5-0 pre-season victory over Como in the Joan Gamper Trophy, where Yamal netted a brace.
Nicki Nicole’s past relationship
Nicole, who was previously in a high-profile relationship with Latin music star Peso Pluma, has now been romantically linked with Barcelona’s rising talent, Lamine Yamal.
Her past romance with Pluma ended last year after a highly publicized split, fueled by allegations that he was seen with another woman during a trip to Las Vegas.
The breakup became a major talking point in the Latin music world, drawing intense media attention and marking the end of one of the industry’s most talked-about pairings.
Yamal’s new relationship with Nicole also comes at a pivotal moment for the 18-year-old winger, who is eager to move past earlier controversies – including reports that his birthday celebration featured “exploitative” entertainment and questionable arrangements.
